This is the salon where 'everybody knows your name.' Like your favorite pub, you can return here and feel like family...*smile*. I always rest assured that my stylist has alloted ample time to cut my long hair AND blow it out. She always makes the time fly with relaxed conversation, and a genuine interest in updates on my life. Their prices are reasonable and their stylists are remarkable... You are never a number here...You are a name, a face & a fab cut! read more

I recently went back to Salon 36 after city styling and I was so happy. Ashley colored and cut my hair perfectly and I was so happy with the price! It's right on main street with easy access. My only beef is that they only take cash. Great salon, great stylist. read more

Pam Nardella has been my hair person for the past 15 years, and it is worth the drive to Ipswich to see her every 5 weeks (or as long as I have Haoir). She is also my wife's hairdresser, so only she knows for sure. read more

I have been going to Sarah for a couple of years now at Salon 36 and she is absolutely wonderful. She takes the time to consider my lifestyle, the thickness of my hair, and the shape of my face and discusses what options she thinks would best fit me personally. I never feel rushed, and always leave with a cut and color that I love due to the amount of thought and time she puts into my visit. Plus, there is an ATM directly across the street, so when I do forget cash, it's just a few steps away. read more

Cassandra is seriously the best. I've been going to her since I was maybe 10 years old, and she does an amazing job cutting (and occasionally coloring) my hair. I actually don't live close to Salon 36, and for a while I tried to find another salon near my home that I liked just as much. But I couldn't. I ended up going back to Cassandra and it's the best decision! I can't recommend her enough. It's totally worth driving 45 minutes to get my hair done just the way I like it. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Salon 36. It was a little pricey as far as a simple haircut goes, but it was well worth the money spent. I'm not 100% sure of my stylists name (maybe Ashley? She was a young blonde who has been there about 8 years), but she was so sweet and fun to talk to. The atmosphere is very welcoming, the decor was beautiful, and I was even taken 15 minutes before my appointment time. I rarely get my hair cut professionally, and when I do, I NEVER let them touch my bangs. However, this time I took a chance and let her do them. I'm so pleased with my hairstyle that I will be returning and would definitely trust her to cut my bangs again. A+ read more

I showed the owner-stylist my license picture, which was a shoulder length bob. It was a clear, good picture, and the bob I had had done was perfect, and had grown out nicely. I had it done out-of-state. The license picture was a few years old, so my hair had grown long over Covid. At any rate, the owner did not listen to me and did a total hack job on my hair. My hair, again, just before Thanksgiving '21, was long, and she just hacked away at it like she had been using giant garden shears until it looked awful, and it was unmanageable. I didn't get a single compliment on my haircut, and to go from very long hair to shorter hair is dramatic. I will have to wait at least five months until my hair can be corrected. She charged me more that I was quoted on the phone for her own inability to achieve a simple, shoulder-length, bob hair style. I'll never darken her door, and she should have admitted her mistake and not charged me at all. read more

I've had Ashley cut my hair for a few years now. The cut is almost always exactly what I was hoping for, and I have never had a bad haircut from her. My only disappointment has been in their color work. I know others who have complained about their coloring as well. I've never walked out with a horrible hair color, but I've also never walked out with the color I asked for. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good haircut, but if you need your hair colored regularly, you might consider going somewhere else. They only accept cash, but their prices are pretty good. read more

Been taking my 2.5yo son here for the last 6+months. Alyssa has been amazing and given him a perfect style every time. She is beyond patient and never bats an eye when he's acting like the toddler he is. My husband now goes to her as well. Now I have two super stylish guys! Recommend this salon 100% for their service, quality and reasonable prices. read more

I've gone to this salon 3 times now, including taking my daughter here once. I stopped after the first 2 times, but decided to give it another try, but I think I'm done now. I saw Susie (the owner) the times I went, and she has great skills. She did my cut great, with some good layers the first time. However, as someone else pointed out, it's a place that sees alot of regulars, and as Susie is very social with those she knows, she was constantly chatting with folks at other stations, folks in the waiting area, and children waiting for their moms. It's great she has such a good relationship with her customers, but as I was new, you would think *I* would be her primary focus. But sadly no, and it happened the next time as well, yielding a less than stellar cut. So I would rather go somewhere that I'm the focus, considering that is what I'm paying for. read more

I've been seeing Suzy since they opened! She is always on time, affordable, and the salon has a welcoming atmosphere. I usually just go for cuts ($35) or the occasional wash/blowdry ($25.) The downtown Ipswich location is very convenient and with the public parking lot across the street, I can always park easily. I definitely recommend Salon 36 to anyone on the North Shore. read more

Was far from ipressed they were kinda moody as I walked in and I asked as she checked me ( I was early but was far from rushing anyone as I have kids and really wanted a break) had asked about how much will it be (so I could get cash at my bank right across the street as I was early and wanted enough cash for hair cut and at least $20 tip) so she tells me and Then kinda goes on that I'm early I say no Biggy I did it on purpose so I can get cash at the atm beforehand then she acts extra nice (basically fake like more than half of ipswich but been here 10 years so I'm very used to it) so I go to bank than Family Dollar come back (let me mind you I've only brought my daughter here before paid $50 left $25 tip and was not happy at all with cut but people say they are great so tried for me) I have never in my life been treated so crappy at a hair cut before the girl basically said way to nice out to blow dry your hair messed up my layers so bad then they charge me $60 and I left the smallest tip I've ever left in my life $10 only cause I had to drive to Newbury st Boston that weekend and spend $150 but was so happy my normal hairdresser was back he also asked me if I had try to cut my own hair as my hair was so uneven the front came down almost an inch further than the oth side (showed me after washing my hair with a ruler) she also used stuff in my hair that has panthenol (highly allergic too) as I told them on the phone and in person (hospital bill $3000) girl said she looked didn't see the ingredient on the label place is horrible. read more

Just want to share some information, salon 36 accepts Checks and cash! Debit and credit cards are not accepted, but there are 2 ATM machines across the street. read more

I've only ever gotten my eyebrows waxed here and it was my first experience. I've gone back twice now because Ashley is a absolute sweetheart. She made me feel so comfortable! Yes I'm 26 and have always done them myself at home but she does SUCH a good job it's worth going once a month. Everyone in there is super sweet and helpful. Highly suggest! read more

Watch out! The stylist at Salon 36, although nice and competent, totally overcharged me. I made an appt for a color, cut and blow dry. In the middle of the appt, Cassandra told me she was running out of time and could only do the color and the blow dry. Could I possible return in a day or two and she would do the cut? (She had scheduled the appt according to her schedule, and I had not been "squeezed in".) I said OK, and I was charged $70. I came back a few days later for my hair cut. At the end of the appt, Cassandra told me the cost was $60. I said I had returned as a convenience for her, and had already paid $70, which I thought was the full price, so the cut was already paid for. She said no, and insisted the price was $70 and then another $60. $130 for a color, cut and blow dry that I had to have done over two appointments because of their scheduling ?!! This salon seems like a small town salon where everyone knows everyone else. I was new in town and knew no one. I didn't get the impression Cassandra would have treated her regular clients like this! read more
